Some good form at two, including a neck second to Quadrilateral at Newbury, and started this season off on the right note when successful over 10f at Sandown, looking like this step up in trip would suit. More to come and looks the one to beat here.

Useful form at two and rather thrown in at the deep end on reappearance this season, taking in the King George V handicap at Royal Ascot. This undoubtedly easier so could take a hand, but others more persuasive.

Stayed on well to land a novice at Beverley on reappearance and looked ready for this step up in trip. Still very unexposed and as long as he handles the likely slower ground, looks a danger to all.

3/1
Only had the two starts so handicapper has little to go on, and he ran a cracker upped to this trip on reappearance at Thirsk, beaten just ½l. Still looked green there, so plenty more to come, and he cannot be ruled out of a tricky little event.

Forecasts

King's Castle (11/8), Mambo Nights (11/4), Stockbridge Tap (3/1), Trumpet Man (15/2)

Verdict

MAMBO NIGHTS can come out top in a tight little handicap. He won well at Sandown, looking like this sort of trip would not be a bother and he can make all today. King's Castle and Stockbridge Tap both have potential to do better and look the main dangers.
  1. Mambo Nights
  2. Stockbridge Tap
  3. King's Castle
